Six of the best... Anti-Valentine's tours

While a voyage to the end of the earth sounds romantic, it’s far from cosy. Take your clothes off here and you might just risk a painful ice burn! Instead, stay wrapped up and experience the wonders of Greenland as a solo traveller. Setting off from Reykjavik, you’ll pass the towering mountains of Prince Christian Sound, get up close and personal with glacier fronts, and explore the capital of Greenland, Nuuk.

In Benin, Voodoo is the national religion. While sticking pins into effigies is a Hollywood interpretation rather than a real Voodoo practice, the culture here places great importance on death and spirits as a transition to the invisible world. On the Benin & Togo Discovery trip we’ll visit a fetish market, which is almost the exact opposite of what you might expect from a market with this name. On sale here is a most unusual collection of items – you'll find goat skulls, hippo feet, whole chameleons, dead cats and dogs amongst other things. A fascinating and colourful African scene, but not one to celebrate a new relationship perhaps.

Go solo on one of our food and drink tours and you'll get to enjoy delicious, local food all to yourself. There's no pressure to share when going solo, and no worries about what you eat. Take a culinary adventure in Southern France from Toulouse to Bordeaux where you can tuck into garlicky, cheesy and flavourful food without worrying about smelly breath! Activities include a visit to a fish market with oyster tasting, truffle hunting and a trip to a local cheese producer farm to tuck into a range of cheeses - stinky and all.
